Abstract

A force feedback device includes a platform, an elastic apparatus, a drive apparatus, a sensor, a control card, and a software system. The software system is configured to process data of a game and transmit data to the control card. The control card is configured to control the drive apparatus to drive the elastic apparatus. The elastic apparatus is configured to control the platform. The sensor is configured to sense the distortion of the elasticity apparatus to know the working status of the platform and transmit data of the distortion to the control card. The control card is configured to process the data of the distortion and transmit it to the software system to change information of the game. The force feedback device has bidirectional data and force transmission.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A force feedback device comprising:
 a platform;   an elastic apparatus connected to the platform;   a drive apparatus comprising a terminal of the drive apparatus connected to the platform;   a sensor comprising a terminal of the sensor connected to the elastic apparatus;   a control card comprising a terminal of the control card connected to a second terminal of the drive apparatus and a second terminal of the sensor; and   a software system connected to a second terminal of the control card, wherein the software system is configured to process data of a game and transmit data to the control card, the control card is configured to control the drive apparatus to drive the elastic apparatus, the elastic apparatus is configured to control the platform, the sensor is configured to sense the distortion of the elastic apparatus to know the status of the platform and transmit data of the distortion to the control card, the control card is configured to process the data of the distortion and transmit it to the software system to change information of the game.   
   
   
       2 . The force feedback device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises a length sensor, one end of the length sensor is connected to the elastic apparatus, the other end of the length sensor is connected to the control card, the length sensor is configured to sense the distortion of the elasticity apparatus and transmit data of the distortion to the control card. 
   
   
       3 . The force feedback device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the elastic apparatus is a spring. 
   
   
       4 . The force feedback device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the platform is a revolving platform, the spring is a circularity spring, the circularity spring is configured to control the revolving platform.
